Description
The Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR) mission's Earth Polychromatic Imaging Camera (EPIC) Level 1A miscellaneous data products capture unique images of the Moon transiting across the Earth's disk, dark space or Jupiter from the spacecraft's position at Lagrange point L1. These specialized observations, stored in HDF5 format, contain calibrated radiance measurements across 10 spectral bands ranging from 317 nm (ultraviolet) to 780 nm (near-infrared). The images of the Moon transiting across the Earth's disk or appearing alongside Earth included in the miscellaneous dataset provide a distinctive perspective of the Earth-Moon system from approximately one million miles away, offering valuable information for Earth-Moon system dynamics.
